Hi All, Currently we started using Okta sign in for our applications and our automated tests run in selenium API using java. How to overcome the Okta authentication since we the ways to authenticate are using push notification or a code. Can someone pls suggest a plausible workaround so we don’t end up junking most of our automation tests. Regards, KK ---

Would you be able to complete these tests with a test user that is configured (in policies) to _not_ be challenged for an additional factor? ---
